An x-ray diffraction study at -120 deg C using λMoKα radiation, graphite monochromator, θ/2θ scanning, 2θ_max = 54 deg and correction for the actual crystal shape gave the molecular geometry of 1-chloromercuro-1,3-diphenyl-2-carbomethoxy-3-methoxycyclopropane (R = 0.0560, R_w = 0.0588).The unit cell parameters of the monoclinic crystals are: a = 9.501(3), b = 10.591(4), c = 17.716(6) Angstroem, β = 98.70(3) deg V= 1762(1) Angstroem³, Z = 4, space group P2₁/n.The ClHg substituent at C(1), the carbomethoxy group at C(2) and the phenyl ring at C(3) are located on one side of the plane of the C(1)C(2)C(3) cyclopropane ring, while the phenyl ring at C(1) and the methoxy group at C(3) are located on the other side.All the bond lengths in this molecule are ordinary.
